Overland truck electrics - 24V or 12V?
Hi all,
I am currently kitting out my MAN/VW 8.136 and completely redesigning the electrics. I want to keep the original truck circuits (24V) and add a separate installation for all other applications.
I am considering using a separate 12V alternator to charge a bank of 12V batteries to power all ancilliaries (interior lights, fridges, heaters, chargers, multimedia, camping equipment, etc.)
What are the pros and cons of using 12V rather than 24V for these applications?
